Kashmir:US_UK joint diplomacy

It appears logically exigent and paramount that a combined American- British efforts to activate proactive diplomacy on the Kashmir issue has to be established since the new US administration under Barack Obama has been ready to give fresh thoughts on the issue and also being the fact that the British government(under Gordon Brown) is also paying positive concern regarding the Kashmir issue.

The appointment of Richard Holbrooke as the South Asian envoy is a good omen in this direction. Yet it would be more productive if the British government also takes an initiative to nominate a British diplomat to co-assist Mr Holbrooke whose task seems to have been multilaterally involved in Pakistan- Afghanistan issue.
